Regatta Great Outdoors Womens/Ladies Sweetheart 1/4 Zip Fleece Top - 12 UK - Green Haze

This fleece top is designed for providing lightweight warmth and comfort, suitable for layering or as a standalone piece in moderate weather conditions. It's ideal for casual wear and outdoor activities like walking or hiking.

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 170gsm fabric weight indicates a relatively lightweight material that offers warmth without being overly bulky.

The product description provides a size guide with corresponding UK dress sizes and chest measurements (e.g., UK 12 is 36 inches). Refer to this guide to select the best fit.

While it provides good insulation, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, you may need to add a waterproof or insulated outer layer.

The polyester material offers some breathability, but for very strenuous activities where significant moisture management is needed, a technical base layer or a more specialized athletic garment might be more appropriate.

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smooth appearance over time.

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Do not iron or bleach.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can clog the fibers and reduce insulation. Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.

While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Gently brush the affected area with a fabric shaver or a soft-bristled brush. Ensure consistent washing and drying practices.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper and gently work it back and forth.
